Five For Friday 6/7/13

1. This week has been BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The National Writing Project started Monday. You can read about DAY 1 or DAY 2. I’m trying to write a post about each day because there’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much I’m learning or trying to stuff in my brain. I need to organize it all and pick a few things I want to implement. I’m mainly talking about techie things. 🙂

2. I’m a country girl so you would think I wouldn’t get excited over seeing animals when I’m driving but…… I still do. 🙂 Here’s my new friend. He was crossing as I was driving to the NWP.

3.

My youngest stepson carrying “his” calf to the truck. It runs in the family. I guess through water, not blood. LOL!

4. I co-hosted my 1st twitter chat last night with a teacher from Arizona!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was an incredible experience. We chatted about the book Notice and Note-Close Reading by Kylene Beers and Bob Probst.

Kylene and Bob joined us for the chat! This book is very practical and just makes sense. It’s a GREAT read if you’re wondering about close reading and strategies/lessons for helping students GET IT!!!

5. I’m a Kermit fan. In case you were wondering. 🙂 Isn’t he handsome???

You have a very interesting blog. I have not seen one decorated this way. 🙂 I too enjoy running. I have just started to get back into it again. Summers are a little easier for me to find time to run than during the school year but I am hoping that it will continue. I have not heard about Notice & Note. I will have to look into it. Thanks for sharing for Five today.

I ran across your Notice and Note thread on Twitter last night. It was very interesting. We have had a lot of turtles crossing the roads here lately. We’ve had a lot of rain. 🙂
